The light in the restaurant is a cloudy dark yellow, like thick oil paint, and the figure and face of the speaker are depicted with thick and colorful strokes.

He is tall, thin and thin, leaning lazily on the door frame, with his head slightly lowered, and the dim light behind him makes his slightly curly hair fluffy and soft.

Little He Duo stared blankly at the handsome young man in front of him.

The light was obviously dim, but his skin was as white as fresh snow, which was incompatible with this dark red and dilapidated world.

He doesn't belong to this world - this thought suddenly popped out of little He Duo's head.

Clear and incredibly deep.

"Come here." The young man waved to little He Duo, and he smiled casually, as if he was casually calling for small animals wandering on the side of the road.

Little He Duo took two steps back vigilantly.

The young man seemed amused by his action, he curled the corners of his lips and smiled beautifully, but the words he said were very nasty.

He said, "Are you afraid of me? Then you'd better run, or I'll catch you, and I'll—eat you."

Little He Duo's footsteps stopped suddenly, he stepped back, but stared at the young man fiercely with angry eyes.

He was wearing a ferocious ghost mask, and his thin and small body was tense, like an angry wolf cub.

At this time, the young man opened his long legs and walked towards little He Duo.

Little He Duo immediately arched his body, ready to jump up and bite at any time.

But the young man was taller than him, and also more agile and powerful than him. Little He Duo didn't even realize what happened, so he was hugged by the young man's waist and legs, and hugged him horizontally.

"Let me go!" Little He Duo kicked his legs and struggled immediately. He waved his hands and wanted to scratch the face of this vicious villain, but when his fingers were about to touch the face that was too beautiful, he retracted again.

If this face is scratched, this person will definitely be even more angry, little He Duo thought respectfully, he is not reluctant to break this face.

The young man's arms are very strong, no matter how little He Duo struggled, he couldn't jump out of his arms.

He was taken into the restaurant.

There were indeed many guests in the restaurant tonight, the small hall was almost full, and everyone was dressed in ordinary and shabby clothes.Little He Duo turned his head to look, and found that everyone's facial features were blurred into a ball.

He was puzzled for a moment, but his attention was quickly drawn to the young man holding him.

Because the youth put him down.

On the wooden dining table next to it, there was hot broth and a plate of snow-white steamed buns. The strong aroma of the food kept pouring over. Little He Duo swallowed hard, and the strong sense of hunger made him give up and run away.

The young man pulled away the stool and sat down. He held his chin and looked at little He Duo with a smile on his pretty face.

"Want to eat?"

Little He Duo glared at the young man, he was very hungry, but he also knew very well that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

No one will be nice to him for no reason.

The nasty and frivolous smile appeared in the young man's eyes again, he lowered his tone, and whispered like coaxing a child, "Call me brother, I'll eat it for you."

Little He Duo stared at the young man fiercely, neither moving nor opening his mouth.

The young man was still in that somewhat lazy posture, and he looked at little He Duo leisurely, as if he was sure that he would be obedient.

But he doesn't!

Little He Duo grabbed the two steamed buns on the table, turned around and rushed out of the restaurant.

**

That handsome young man did not come out to catch up with him this time.

Little He Duo returned to the dilapidated tin house streets, he ate the two steamed buns, and then wandered around the streets.

The snow fell more and more heavily, and a thick layer of snow quickly accumulated on the ground. Stepping on the snow layer, little He Duo's toes were almost frozen off.

He stepped on the thick red snow, walking with his head down.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered that young man.

When he was forced to hug him, little He Duo not only touched his thin chest, but also rubbed his fingers against the skin of his side neck. That person's body was warm.

Little He Duo stepped on the snow, he didn't know why, but suddenly felt very angry, he thought angrily, that person's embrace is really warm.

After walking around the street several times, little He Duo returned to the back door of the restaurant.

The two walls there will block the wind and snow, and because of the heat in the restaurant, there will be less snow accumulation. In such a bad weather that could freeze to death at any time, that place is the best place for little He Duo to find for the night.

The lights in the restaurant have been turned off, and the noisy voices of the guests have disappeared.

Little He Duo lingered at the back door for a while, and finally, as usual, he huddled in the corner of the alley, waiting for the snow to stop.

He hugged his knees, buried his face in his arms, and curled up his body as much as possible to retain the heat.

The snow was still falling, even though there was an included angle to block it, the flakes of snow still fell on little He Duo. Even though he hugged his arms and knees tightly, the chill still came from all directions.

Little He Duo kept telling himself in his heart that it would be good if he fell asleep, at least he had a full stomach tonight, and he would be fine when he fell asleep.

He managed to get a little drowsy when a small hard object suddenly hit the back of his head.

Little He Duo opened his eyes, he didn't move, afraid that the heat would dissipate if he moved.

But in the next second, his head was hit again. The thing that hit it was not heavy, like a very light pebble. It tapped on his head and then bounced to the snow.

It landed at his feet, and little He Duo finally saw clearly that it was candy wrapped in colorful plastic paper.

Little He Duo swallowed immediately.

He hasn't eaten candy for a long time...

Just as he was about to pick it up, he was hit on the back of the head again. Little He Duo was a little angry. He raised his head angrily and looked in the direction of the candy thrown.

The lights on the second floor of the restaurant were on, the windows were open, and the handsome young man was standing in front of the window, the bright light clearly reflected his smiling eyes.

Seeing little He Duo raised his head, he threw another candy, and this time the candy hit the little He Duo's mask with a crisp sound.

Little He Duo felt his heart beating hard, and he clenched his sleeves tightly.

"Little brat." The young man spoke to him upstairs, with a frivolous tone and an intimate smile, "Is there no place to live, do you want to come to my place?"

Little He Duo faced the young man with a ferocious mask, without saying a word.

The young man didn't throw candy down, didn't speak any more, he quickly closed the window.

Little He Duo was staring at the closed window, startled suddenly, then he frowned vigorously, and whispered angrily to himself: "Bad guy."

The thrown candy was still lying in the red snow, and the candy wrapper was slightly reflecting brilliant light, like a gem that was accidentally dropped.

Little He Duo stared at the candy. After a while, he slowly reached out and picked up the candy.

The candy wrapper made a crunchy sound, and little He Duo put the candy in his palm. He was very greedy, but he was completely reluctant to eat it.

There were still two candies that bounced to no one knew where. Little He Duo left the little nest where he had finally slept and warmed up, half-kneeled on the ground, looking for candies everywhere.

The snow was thick, and the candy was probably buried somewhere, but little He Duo couldn't find it after searching for a long time. He was so angry and anxious that he messed up the nearby snow.

"I still have a whole box of candies." The young man's voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Come with me, and all the candies will be yours."

Little He Duo immediately turned around, staring at him vigilantly.

The young man took another step forward, and then he slowly bent over, his beautiful and fair face was close to the front of Little He Duo's mask.

The blood-red moonlight fell into his light-colored eyes, like candy wrappers, shining brightly.

"Come with me?" he asked.

Little He Duo pursed his lips tightly, still without saying a word, but this time, he also ran away without turning around.

So the young man stretched out his slender arms and hugged him up.

Little He Duo was lying on the young man's shoulders, and the distance was very close. Not only could he clearly feel the warm body temperature of the young man, but he could even clearly see the young man's white and slender side neck.

So little He Duo stared fiercely at the young man's side neck, and asked him, "Why do you want me to go with you?"

The young man laughed softly, not knowing whether he was making a bad joke or just dealing with it casually.

"Because I like you, poor boy."

Little He Duo said angrily, "I'm not pitiful!"

The young man just laughed, he hugged little He Duo, and went back to the restaurant.

It was only then that little He Duo found out that the upstairs of this restaurant was a hotel, and the young man lived here.

The layout of the hotel is very simple, and there is a charcoal fire in the corner, which is very warm.

The young man put little He Duo on the table and asked him to sit.

"Dirty." The young man suddenly commented.

Little He Duo shrank his body, he felt embarrassed for a long time, living in the garbage dump every day, he was indeed dirty and smelly.

The young man said that he was dirty, but he stroked his hair with his hands and asked, "Take a bath first, okay?"

Little He Duo said nothing, so the young man turned around and went to the bathroom to turn on the water.

The wall and door of the bathroom door are made of iron sheets. After the young man entered, he could not see the figure, only the sound of rushing water could be heard.

Little He Duo sat stiffly on the table, his eyes slowly turned from the bathroom to the door of the room.

No one would treat him for no reason, this person must have a purpose for bringing him here, and even let him take a bath, maybe he is also a pervert.

You should run away immediately, get out of here, and stay away from this person.

Little He Duo thought clearly, he should run immediately, without hesitation for a second.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and the young man came out, while little He Duo was still sitting on the table, did not jump down to escape, nor did he look for any self-defense weapon.

He was picked up again by the youth and brought to the bathroom.

The bathtub was filled with warm water, and the hot air rose up, so warm that people's bones were softened.

The young man asked little He Duo to stand by the bathtub, and he squatted down to look at the little He Duo.

"The mask." The young man flicked little He Duo's ghost mask with his fingers, "I'm going to take it off."

Little He Duo's whole body tensed up immediately. He clenched his fists and fixed his eyes on the young man's face. If he showed a disgusted expression, then I would definitely bite him to death, and I would bite his neck that looked very white and soft.

The young man's soft fingertips went around little He Duo's knotted hair, and he picked up the rope of the mask.

As soon as the vision brightened, the ferocious ghost mask was taken off.

Also because of wearing a mask for a long time, little He Duo's face is clean, his complexion is pale, his cheeks are thin and sunken, but even so, he is still an excessively beautiful child.

Little He Duo stared fiercely at the young man's face, like a vigilant kitten.

The young man laughed all of a sudden: "What a fierce and good-looking kid."

He put down the mask casually, and said to little He Duo, "Take off your clothes, then go into the bathtub and wash well."

Little He Duo looked at the young man hesitantly, to make sure that there was really no such disgusting thing in his eyes

The young man glanced at him suspiciously, raised his eyes and said, "Don't you like taking a bath?"

Little He Duo immediately turned his face away, took off his clothes a few times, and soaked in hot water.

The young man fetched a stool, sat on the edge of the bathtub, and helped him scrub his back and his dirty, tangled hair.

Little He Duo turned his back to the young man, he hung his head, the back of his neck protruded high, and he was as thin as a thin skin.

The towel was rubbing against the back of little He Duo, he couldn't understand it, and couldn't help asking again: "Why are you being so nice to me?"

The young man casually said, "Because you're such a cute little poor boy."

Little He Duo immediately frowned, thinking to himself, lying.

The young man seemed to have sensed little He Duo's emotions. He laughed and said again: "Before, I picked up a stray dog. It was also dirty and fierce. When others approached, it immediately bared its teeth fiercely." People."

Little He Duo tightened his lips.

The young man continued: "So I adopted it. After washing it, I found that it was actually a very beautiful puppy. After being raised, it became obedient and protective. It was very cute. When I saw you, I fell in love with you." remembered it."

Little He Duo couldn't help but said angrily, "I'm not a puppy."

The young man suddenly laughed lowly, as if he was extremely happy, and his tone was soft: "I know you are not."

Little He Duo stopped talking.

The young man started to wash his hair, and the shampoo gradually opened up, and it slipped into little He Duo's eyes, so he had to close his eyes and reach out to rub it.

"You want to know..." The young man suddenly approached, and asked next to little He Duo's ear, "What happened to that puppy?"

Little He Duo endured the stinging pain and immediately opened his eyes.

The young man whispered badly: "I raised him and then ate him."

Little He Duo trembled in fright, while the young man laughed out loud, as if he had just deliberately made a scary joke.

After taking a bath, the young man carried little He Duo to sit on the table again. He wiped the wet hair of little He Duo with a clean towel, and then praised him again for his good looks.

"Come with me from now on." The young man bent down, looked at little He Duo, his expression softened, "follow me, and I will give you a home where you can sleep."

Little He Duo glanced at the young man blankly, then immediately lowered his head, and said harshly, "Don't treat me like a stray dog, I'm not."

The young man smiled and rubbed the head of little He Duo: "I know you are not, you are just a brat."

**

Little He Duo just followed the young man.

The young man took off his mask, gave him a warm bed to sleep in, gave him three meals a day, took him to cut his hair, and bought him new warm winter clothes.

Little He Duo was still full of vigilance towards the young man, he felt that the young man must have other plans, but every time the young man wanted him to behave better, he couldn't help but follow his request and be obedient.

Little He Duo thinks that young man is a handsome villain.

**

The youth brought little He Duo from the underground poor city to the normal city on the ground.

But in the eyes of little He Duo, there is no difference between the underground and the ground, the sky above is also scarlet and dim, and a blood moon hangs forever in the sky.

It's just that the iron house is gone, replaced by a towering steel building.

The young man took little He Duo's hand and walked slowly along the street.

The cars with blurred outlines were speeding across the land, and the faces of the passers-by on both sides were also blurred. Little He Duo looked up. At first he felt strange occasionally, but now he felt that it didn't matter.

It has nothing to do with him anyway.

Little He Duo grasped the young man's hand tightly.

The two walked for a while, bypassing a commercial street, and the youth slowed down.

There seemed to be an accident in the street ahead, and a large circle of people gathered around.

Little He Duo took a closer look, and found that all the shops beside the street were blurred, only one bridal shop had bright and clear lights, but the door of the shop was broken and collapsed, and several blood-red figures lay on the ground, extending from the shop to the road.

One of the figures was wearing a very beautiful mermaid wedding dress. She was lying on her side with one arm resting lightly on her abdomen.

The young man took little He Duo and stopped beside this figure.

Little He Duo couldn't help but asked aloud, "Why didn't you leave?"

The young man bowed his head and smiled very gently: "I have to wait for someone."

Just as little He Duo was about to ask who he was waiting for, a handsome young man suddenly pushed his way through the crowd and rushed over, and then little He Duo heard the young man call out the man's name.

"Tang Bai."

**

There was a man named Tang Bai next to the young man. Little He Duo hated this man very much, and this man probably didn't like him either, because he never looked at little He Duo directly.

It was as if little He Duo was not in his eyes at all.

Tang Bai often said things that little He Duo couldn't understand with the young man, and the two even often whispered behind Little He Duo's back.

Little He Duo hoped that Tang Bai would die quickly.

But before his expectation was fulfilled, there were two more people beside the young man, one named Xu Zhuiye and the other named Nian Buhuan.

They are more annoying than Tang Bai.

Since the appearance of these two people, the young man has often stayed with them, while little He Duo will be left alone in another place.

**

The youth spoke to them again.

Little He Duo was sitting alone in a certain coffee shop, and there was an exquisite dessert in front of him, but he didn't want to eat a single bite.

The young man and those three people stood outside the coffee shop, separated from Little He Duo by a transparent glass.

The few people didn't know what they said, and the young man suddenly turned his head to look at little He Duo.

Little He Duo subconsciously sat up straight, his eyes shining brightly, expecting the young man to show him a gentle smile.

But the young man just looked at him calmly.

Little He Duo's straightened waist gradually collapsed.

"Kid, your smoothie is here." The coffee shop clerk's voice suddenly sounded.

Little He Duo lowered his head and ignored it.

The clerk didn't say much either, she just put down the tray and brought the "sluice ice" to little He Duo.

Little He Duo glanced casually, then was taken aback.

It wasn't Shabing, but a mirror, facing little He Duo, reflecting his ferocious ghost mask.

Little He Duo was a little dazed, he raised his hand to touch his face, only then realized that he was actually wearing a mask again.

The clerk put away the tray, stood next to little He Duo, and whispered to him, "That man will kill you."

Little He Duo suddenly raised his head and stared at the clerk angrily.

The clerk had a dark face without facial features. She bent down slowly, with a deep smile in her voice: "He is not from your world. He is trying to find a way to leave, and you are the key."

Little He Duo stared at the clerk fiercely, like an annoyed animal, with spikes all over his body.

The clerk just smiled lowly: "If you don't believe me, go and listen to what they are saying."

The clerk disappeared and the mirror turned back into a smoothie.

Little He Duo reached out to touch his face again, the mask was still there, he slowly turned his head and looked at the young man outside the window.

The young man seemed to have sensed something, he turned his beautiful side face, and bent the corners of his lips towards the little He Duo.

Little He Duo stared at him without saying a word.

**

The young man left the city with little He Duo.

A group of five of them entered the dead wood forest outside the city.

Little He Duo followed behind the young man, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Where are we going?"

The young man slowed down and let the little He Duo walk with him. He reached out and rubbed the little He Duo's head: "Let's find a tower."

They had already entered the depths of the dead wood forest, the moonlight became brighter and scarlet, and the whole forest was covered with a layer of red silk, as if it was about to burn at any time.

Little He Duo looked at the young man: "What tower?"

The young man looked at little He Duo for a while, then squatted down, and said in a very gentle voice, "A skeleton tower, that's the key."

Little He Duo didn't speak this time. He looked past the young man and saw the spire protruding from the woods. There seemed to be something luminous on the spire. When little He Duo looked over, the light pierced into the In the eyes of little He Duo.

At this moment, little He Duo saw clearly what was on the top of the tower, it was a small person, with his head hanging down, and under the scattered bangs, the outline of a ghost mask could be vaguely seen.

The young man suddenly raised his hand, touched little He Duo's mask, and asked him with a smile: "Have you been happy during this time?"

Little He Duo didn't speak this time.

The young man raised his face slightly, and the red moonlight shone into his light-colored eyes, showing a bit of gentle watery light.

"But it's time to end." The young man slid his finger against Little He Duo's mask, "Do you still remember the stray puppy I told you about?"

The young man slowly curled his lips with an extremely gentle smile: "It's true that I didn't eat it, but..."

The young man moved a little closer, his warm breath brushing over little He Duo's mask.

"I threw it away."

Little He Duo opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the young man.

The youth is still laughing.

"Aren't you alright?" The one next to him named Xu Zhuiye spoke out, this time little He Duo actually understood what he said.

"There's no time," he urged.

Little He Duo realized the danger, he wanted to retreat, but he was hugged by the young man first, just like meeting him for the first time, it was as close as a cage, tightly surrounding him.

**

The person on the top of the Skull Tower was indeed Xiao He Duo himself.

Little He Duo lowered his head, looking at his chest that had been dug open, the towering tower under his feet, and the slender and tall young man standing on the ground.

If he could do it all over again, even if he starved to death, he would never go to the back door of the restaurant again. In that case, he wouldn't be hung up here in such pain.

"No." A strange and ethereal voice suddenly rang close to his ears, "Next time you should kill him first."

This voice is like the wind from another world, nothingness and mystery.

"In this way, you will not be abandoned, and you will be together forever."

Little He Duo moved his eyelashes.

The voice continued, and it asked him softly, "Am I right?"

Little He Duo didn't respond, he slowly pursed his lips.

On the scarlet sky, the blood-red moon seemed to move for a moment, as if it opened its eyes for a moment.

**

He Duo suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

His chest seemed to still be in severe pain from being dug open. He immediately looked down, but the chest was intact, without scars, and without blood.

Outside the window, the sky was as scarlet and gloomy as ever, and the blood moon was hanging, tight and weird.

He Duo stared at the moon, feeling dazed for a moment.

"Xiao Duo." The mother's voice suddenly sounded outside, followed by the familiar sound of high-heeled shoes, "Go and buy me a pack of cigarettes."

He Duo slowly raised his head, staring at the dilapidated iron door.

Everything is really coming back.

**

Su Li finally came out of the endless fall.

His feet stepped on the hard ground, and beside him were dense and dilapidated low iron houses.

He looked around, and based on what he occasionally saw on TV, he guessed that this place should be the underground poor city of this world.

Su Li walked along the dirty street for a while, and suddenly found a restaurant with lights on.

Different from the dim and dim tin houses around, the restaurant was obviously much more refined, like an important scene specially designed in the game.

Su Li walked in without hesitation.
